() Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade says he is committed to the safety of the Colorado Springs community and hopes to see more raids following Sunday’s arrest of more than 100 migrants illegally in the U.S.

According to local affiliate KDVR, 114 people were arrested in a DEA-orchestrated operation that involved more than 300 law enforcement officers at an “underground nightclub” in Colorado Springs.

“I anticipate that there will be more arrests,” Mobolade told ” Now.”

“I hope to see more raids happen in my city. This is not the first one.”

Mobolade noted that 40 officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department were involved in the operation Sunday.

The mayor commended President Trump’s efforts to ensure safety in the United States, ostensibly through his border policies.

“I can actually appreciate what the president and his team are doing,” he said. “The No. 1 role of government at all levels, whether it’s federal, state or local. In my case, it’s the safety of our community. If you don’t have a safe community, you have nothing. I have often said that a great city is a safe city. In a safe city is a great city.”

Mobolade, the first immigrant mayor of Colorado Springs, also noted it is a “blessing” to live in the United States and be afforded the safety the country offers.
